While driving up a steep hill the transmission went into safe mode to protect the transmission from overheating. When this happened I was almost rear ended by a truck going much faster. Nissan is aware of the problem but has not address it. A better cooler should clear up this problem
2011 Rogue with 118,000 miles that has great maintenance just stopped accelerating on I 25. Continued not to accelerate in town. Service manager said I need a new transmission. 2008-2010 transmission were recalled. Why wasn't this 2011 transmission recalled? dangerous situation at any speed.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. While driving 65 mph, a grinding noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. When the mechanic removed the axle to add more transmission fluid, metal shavings from the transmission were found. The dealer (nourse Nissan, 423 N bridge St, chillicothe, oh 45601, (866) 935-8801) was contacted and quoted a price of $3,000 to repair the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 118,699.
At 135,000 miles the vehicle hesitated to accelerate to 50 and refused to accelerate past 60 during a 2.5 hour drive to atlanta, ga from columbia, SC. We replaced an engine sensor and spark plugs hoping to remedy the issue. However, the car continued to have issues with acceleration and then began shaking when tge hfs pedal was dexpressed at all. A few weeks later, the car cut off as my teenage son (driving with me and younger siblings as passengers) was attempting to make a left turn (from a standstill after 30 minutes of driving) on back highways during a nearly 2 hour drive. We pulled to the side of the road and eventually the car became driveable, but allowed acceleration of only 35 mph. It took us an added hour to get home. Following that, the vehicle continued to refuse acceleration beyond 60 and began shaking between 35 and 40 mph. A diagnostic test showed an issue with the transmission. The shaking has became more severe and now atbv138,000 the car wont start at all. Further research shows this is very common problem with the 2011 Rogue. This safety issue could have resulted in extreme bodily harm or death when the car initially shut down.

And I am still have the problem, now all charges on me. The problem happened any where after 1 O 2 hours driving. I had been in dangerous situation many times. I am planned to stop furthers payments.
I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue that I purchased approximately four years ago and when I purchased it had 33,004 miles on it now has 97,500 the transmission went out on this car as I was driving it down the highway at 70 miles an hour lost all power pulled off the road safely thank god I had a tractor and trailer right behind me going the same speed it was kind of scary. Come to find out my transmission is no good I still have two years to pay on this car I contacted Nissan usa they will not help me I called the dealership that I bought the car from will not help me I feel these cars are danger if someone was to lose power and get rear-ended so I ended up getting 64,000 miles for a $32,000 vehicle that's pretty sad to say I hope that someone starts a civil suit to make Nissan fix this problem I know that they had issues with the 2008 through 2010 Nissan Rogue's they fix their problem I feel they just push the 2011 through with the same cvt transmission for the money that people spend their hard earned money I feel I should have to help people out and including myself
Loss of acceleration with no warning lights there is a service bulletin of this issue ntb16-090. This car with no warning dropped from 60 mph on a highway to a drift, enough to me to get off of the road but only because I was going down a slight grade. Lucky for me there was not traffic or I would have been rear ended because it was a drastic change in speed in seconds. With my foot on the gas it just became a winding sound. Off the side of the road, car would not go in drive or reverse. I turned it off for awhile and called Nissan dealer and was able to start the car but only to move it further off the road before same issue started again. Vehicle had 1 owner prior to me and had documented regular maintenance/service through the dealership at which it was purchased.
On June 15, 2018, I was driving on the freeway and my Nissan Rogue 2011 with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) started to lose power for no apparent reason, and it decelerated from 70 to 40 miles per hour (mph) in a 70 mph zone. The engine was making a whining noise while revving at high RPM's. I tried to accelerate back up to the speed limit and it wouldn't accelerate more than 40 mph and the engine continued to rev at high RPM's. I had to pull over to the freeway shoulder and put my hazard lights on while driving 40 mph. I exited the off ramp and stopped at the stop sign. When I tried to accelerate, the car was very sluggish and I had to pull over to the side of the road again because it wasn't accelerating and was driving at about 2 mph. The only way I could drive was to down shift to low and drive at low speed on surface streets. Cars were honking their horns behind me because my car would take 5 - 10 seconds to move forward from a stop sign. I had to stay in low gear because it wouldn't accelerate in regular drive gear. I stopped at an automotive repair shop and was informed that the local aamco transmission shop refused to work on Nissan Rogue transmissions. The automotive repair shop said that it would cost $4,500 for a new transmission. I shouldn't be having transmission problems on a 2011 vehicle. I heard that Nissan extended the warranty for Nissan Rogue transmissions built before 2011. My Nissan Rogue was built in 2011 so the warranty extension doesn't apply to my vehicle.
Cvt transmission gets too hot and will suddenly lose power after about 2 hours of driving on the interstate. Press the gas pedal all the way down rpms will rev up but no acceleration. Complete power loss going up hill with the pedal to the floor, only going 10 mph and decreasing, this is very dangerous with traffic going 70 plus. Once it is cooled you can pull out going about 5 mph and slowly increasing to about 40 mph only to lose power again with rpms racing and no acceleration.
While driving at approximately 70 mph on the pa turnpike in the middle lane of traffic, my 2011 Rogue completely lost power & dropped the speed instantly. I was lucky to be able to glide into the shoulder without being hit--cars and tractor trailers were flying by all around me. This is a serious safety issue. This issue is related to the cvt transmission which Nissan is aware of, yet has not recalled the vehicles with this problem. Nissan extended the warranty for 2008-2010 vehicles, but did nothing to recall later model Rogues. The Nissan dealership was given a service bulletin (reference ntb16-090) detailing "2011-2015 Rogue reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic" when I took my Rogue to the dealership, the service advisor said the Rogue will have a loss of performance and will not accelerate in response to pressing on the gas pedal if the "outside air temperature is 80 and you are driving in a hilly area". my wife & I could have been killed on the highway due to a defect in the cvt that Nissan knew about but did not notify current owners. The Nissan dealership recommended a "fix" which is to install an "auxiliary transmission cooler" at my own cost in excess of $1,000. Nissan needs to recall all vehicles with a cvt or cover the cost of the "fix" and guarantee the "fix".
The vehicle cant handle hills nor warmer days. Any ambient temperature pushing over 80 degrees Fahrenheit and it's almost a given that the vehicle will lose power and go into a limp mode; this basically means that its cvt transmission overheats and no matter how far down you push the gas pedal, all you get is a maximum of 3000 rpms but no actual acceleration. Every time it's driven during summer has been a gamble on not if, but when it will happen. Hills of any uphill incline or grade exacerbate the problem. This is all due to the transmission not being able to be cooled enough with the base model of the vehicle. What's worse is that the problem can't be fixed until you manage to pull off the side of the road, out of traffic. This becomes an issue inside of cities where you lose power suddenly at a traffic light and can't accelerate, especially when exiting or entering a highway. Nissan knows it's an issue as they addressed it with the 2003-2010 models yet have continued the same practice on every later model without any fixes nor any extended warranties as they did for the previously stated models. In many cases they suggest an external cooling unit that has to be paid for out of the consumer's pocket. A simple search for cvt transmission problems gives page after page of 95% Nissan similar issues and one or two for some other car company that is a small issue. This is obviously a problem and what's worse is it's a known problem that Nissan is barely owning up to. They are selling a shoddy product with faulty design and know about it.
The cvt transmission on the vehicle failed at just under 115K miles. I followed the maintenance plan provided by the manufacturer and had the transmission inspected at a dealer as part of that maintenance schedule. The transmission failed in rush hour traffic on a busy city street, and there were no check engine or other warning lights in advance of the car suddenly struggling to accelerate and jerking to a stop when trying to brake. This happened in rush hour traffic with a child in the car, which was extremely dangerous. Even after I was able to coax the car off the road and into a parking lot, jerking and practically stalling along the way, there were no warning lights or other indicators that subsequently came on to indicate there was any potential trouble with the vehicle. The dealer service advisor could only say the transmission suffered an internal failure and could not explain why it happened, what caused it or how the transmission passed prior inspection fewer than 30K miles prior to sudden failure. It is fortunate we were not rear-ended when the acceleration failed and that I was able to get off of the road so that me and my child were not in further danger on the road. This transmission is hazardous to have in vehicles as it can bring one to a stop almost immediately with no warning at all, and the manufacturer can't even explain why or what happened. They also will only replace the failed cvt with another cvt, which I believe is unsafe so I won't be having it repaired. The Nissan cvts should not be on the road. They are as dangerous to others in traffic with one of their vehicles when the transmission fails as they are to the owner/occupants of that Nissan vehicle.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle began to slow down. The accelerator pedal was applied, but the vehicle failed to move while the engine was still running. The contact placed the vehicle in reverse and it began to wobble. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed a leak coming from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was able to restart, but failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact called supreme Toyota of hammond (1415 S morrison blvd, hammond, la 70403, (877) 840-7756) and was informed that the warranty had expired and the transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,384.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle lost all power and could not accelerate. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to jack ingram Nissan (227 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36117) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.
The cvt transmission has gone into fail/safe mode 4 different times which restricts the vehicles ability to accelerate and limits the speed. 1st problem occurred in Oct 2015 with 33,100 miles. When driven on the interstate,1 1/2 into drive car would not accelerate and I could not keep up with traffic. I contacted 2 dealerships lokey & courtesy that had no explanation, because no warning lights were on that meant there was not a problem. The 2nd problem I4 again. Very frightening again, asked Nissan dealer. Again, no warning light no issue. April 2018. I was on I75 S when the vehicle suddenly began to lose speed. I knew what was happening and pulled over. A warning light did eliminate. I was not able to sustain 45 mph and stopped. I looked at the manual, it looked like a misfire or emission issue. No big deal, okay to keep driving per manual. If continue, see dealer. I did not know Nissan knew about this issue since 2008. I drove my car home back to tampa at 9 pm. Had I been notified that this issue was not normal I would have had it towed home. 10;30pm I was on I75 N not able to maintain 45 mph. I was in a very dangerous situation. I was going 45 in a 70!! I had 1 idiot tail me for 1.7 miles. I was put in that situation by Nissan. I bought this car because the salesman fooled me into thinking I was buying a safe car. It is the opposite. Why is this acceptable. Nissan extended the warranty for 2008-2010 but not 2011"?" 2011 clearly has the same issue. My car showed issues at 33,100 under warrantty but the dealer purposefully did not disclose the danger. I just paid $4589 to have my transmission rebuilt. Only to have it break down within an hour of picking it up. Defective bearing. My car has been out of use for 1 week and counting. Nissan fails to help me nor take responsibility for the dangerous and potentially deadly situation. Nissan ripping us off. Stop now!!
Daughter was driving the car on city street and transmission broke had 97000 miles on it my wife bought car brand new. Car has never been treat rough just normal driving. Nissan does not want to own up to that they have a problem with the bad design inside the transmission. Asked for help on getting transmission replaced got told Nissan don't have a problem.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. While driving 65 mph, the contact noticed that the vehicle stalled and went into neutral. The contact pulled off the highway and turned off the vehicle. When the contact attempted to restart the vehicle and shift into the drive, the vehicle would failed to shift gears. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (crowley Nissan, 1451 farmington ave, bristol, ct 06010) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that there were issues with previous vehicles of the same make and model but due to the year of the contact's vehicle, it did not qualify. The failure mileage was 103,000.
Purchased a certified pre-owned 2011 Nissan Rogue in 2013. Ever since I owned the vehicle it would intermittently pop out of gear and would then reengage into gear and accelerate on the highway and city roadways. When I would accelerate from 20mph to higher speeds the car would jump as if the brakes were stuck. Apparently the cvt transmission was defective and Nissan is now indicating to me that although the later model year cars were given an extended warranty for the faulty cvt transmission my car is not covered. I have spoken to them to file complaints, but nothing has been done. There are an outstanding number of complaints regarding their cvt transmissions, but they do not want to cover the 2011's. now I will have to replace entire transmission at a cost of approximately $4,000. This should not happen to car with approximately 100,000 miles that has been serviced and care for regularly. The car completely stopped accelerating on me on a one lane road with a speed limit of 45 mph that has a lot of traffic. I had to coast to a stop on a half shoulder and wait there until help could arrive.
